NBA: Start with a three-point experience card

Chapter 354 The end of the season, taste the taste of failure
In the battle of Tianwang Mountain, Wang Yi became a god in the first battle—although there are still many people who don't agree with this so-called first battle, at least half of Wang Yi's fans think so.

But in the next G6, Wang Yi can't stand alone.

Although he scored a triple-double of 42 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists in this battle, he was really hard to beat with two fists.

And in this battle, the Lakers' outside line once again returned to their iron-strike tradition.

He actually shot an ultra-low shooting percentage of 40 of 7 shots.

People can't help but think of the Rockets once made 27 of 3 shots.

In the end, the Lakers lost to the Warriors 90:123.

The big score was tied at 3:3.

When it came to grabbing 7, Wang Yi was once again superb.

He scored 37 points at halftime.

Let the Lakers lead the Warriors by 11 points at halftime.

By the third quarter, Wang Yi still had a terrifying hit rate.

At the end of the third quarter, he had scored 3 points.

Under his leadership, the Lakers still led the Warriors by 3 points at the end of the third quarter.

Many fans are expecting Wang Yi to create another miracle and lead the Lakers to victory.

But at this moment, Cole resorted to box 1 tactics.

The so-called box 1 tactic is that when the opponent has a super strong player, send the strongest defender in the team to target this player.

Stalk this player, no matter the cost.

The remaining 4 people stood separately on the penalty area line, which looked like a box.

In this way, it is difficult for the opponent's super powerful player to have a chance to shoot a three-pointer.

And when he broke into the restricted area, he got into the box.

There will be 5 players to round him up.

This was originally a tactic used only in the arena of primary school students.

Because in elementary school, the level gap between the players is too great.

After using this tactic against the opponent's strong player, that strong player can only pass the ball, and the other students are much worse than him, so it is difficult to score goals.

In the NBA, such tactics are extremely rare.

Because using box 1 tactics is equivalent to giving up the defense of other players on the three-point line.

Even if there is a gap in the level of NBA players, it will not be as big as elementary school students.

When you focus on this strong scorer, the player passes the ball, and other players are full of three-point opportunities.

The Raptors once used this tactic against Curry, forcing Curry to make 3 points and 0 shots in the second half.

Now the Warriors are using this tactic against Wang Yi in turn.

Although Wang Yi relied on his strong breakthrough ability, he still created some three-point opportunities.

But there are not many three-point opportunities.

Because Clay tried his best to foul, he also wanted to pull Wang Yi down.

Therefore, Wang Yi only took three three-pointers in the fourth quarter and hit two goals.

He is more of a break into the penalty area and pass the ball to the outside line.

The 4 outside teammates are all opportunities.

However, it's hard to say.

Wang Yi passed it to these teammates, and these teammates shot a terrible 8-of-1 three-pointers.

In the end, the Lakers regrettably lost 107:110.

Thus ended Wang Yi's first playoff tour.

All Wang Yi fans can't help but feel sorry for Wang Yi when they see this.

In this game, he personally scored a super large triple-double of 56 points, 15 rebounds and 18 assists.

Throughout the 7 games in the series, he personally averaged 48 points, 11.8 rebounds and 9.3 assists in a quasi-triple double.

He interpreted the four words "lonely hero" vividly.

He tried his best to the last sliver of strength, but in the end he fell in front of the enemy regretfully.

For Wang Yi's failure, Huaxia fans are very tolerant.

When the Lakers lost their thick eyebrows and James, everyone thought that the Lakers would be vulnerable.

But never expected that Wang Yi led the Lakers to win the battle of Tianwangshan abruptly.

When they lost by a big score in Game 6, many people thought the Lakers were over and they had collapsed.

But Wang Yi led these role players of the Lakers to fight against the Warriors until the last moment.

In the end, it only lost by three points.

When interviewed after the game, both Curry and Cole were full of praise for Wang Yi.

Curry said sincerely: "I said before that injuries are also part of the game, but after I have really experienced injuries, I know that it is difficult, too difficult, especially when the team loses two cores. , It’s even more difficult. If it were me, I’m not sure I’d be able to make it to Game 7. And Wang Yi did it, he even almost defeated us with the crippled Lakers, he’s a great player.”

Steve Kerr commented on Wang Yi in this way:

"All you guys see is his near-triple-double of 48 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists. What you see is his crazy scoring performance. And what I see is his amazing basketball IQ. "

"Many of the Lakers' tactics, at first I thought it was Vogel or LeBron's idea, and then I realized that it was Wang Yi's idea. For example, during the battle of Tianwangshan, they suddenly started running and bombing, which caught us by surprise. , and ultimately lost the game.”

"It's hard to believe this is just his first playoff appearance. If you give him time to develop, he's going to have a lot going for him."

The reporter asked again: "If Wang Yi has the opportunity to come to the Warriors..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Cole laughed loudly: "Impossible, the Lakers can't let him go."

The reporter went on to say: "Who knows what will happen in the future, he will become a free agent this summer, should the Warriors fight for it?"

Cole said again: "If we still have salary space, of course we will fight for it. We will do our best to fight for it. Who wouldn't want such a player? Not only his skills, but also his fighting spirit, are all important. It's what every team desperately needs. But again, the Lakers can't be that stupid, stupid enough to let go of such a player."

……

And when the Lakers were interviewed at the press conference, a reporter asked: "Wang, your performance this time is very surprising, even shocking. But in the last two games, the three-point shooting percentage of other players is too high. Bad. If they shot a little bit better, you might have won the Warriors in Game [-]. What do you have to say about that?"

Wang Yi was in great pain at this moment.

For him who is born with a strong competitive spirit, the pain of failure is far greater than other players.

It was so painful that he didn't want to talk to these reporters at all.

But as a professional player, doing post-game interviews is part of their job.

He could only shake his head, with a low voice: "I think you made a mistake, their performance is not bad. They are my teammates, my brothers. Without their support, I would not be able to get to where I am today, The Lakers couldn't get to where they are today."

"You only saw their inaccurate three-pointers, but you ignored Caruso's flying save when he jumped into the audience. You ignored Harrell and the Warriors' two major insiders who were elbowed when they were fighting for rebounds. Nosebleeds; ignoring that Schroeder sprained his ankle on the drive and just tightened his shoelaces and went back into the fight."

At the end, Wang Yi said emotionally: "There is no doubt that they are the best teammates I have met in the NBA."

It's not like he has a high EQ or a business bragging.

He sincerely praised these teammates.

They may not be good at the game, but their fighting spirit on the court still moved Wang Yi.

Finally, Wang Yi said solemnly: "So please show them more respect."

When the Lakers players saw Wang Yi's press conference, they all secretly blamed themselves.

If only they could work a little harder, if they could make two more damn threes in the fourth quarter...

But that's what a basketball court is.

Winner and loser, there is no if.

The only thing they can do is to train hard this summer, hoping to hit the championship again next year.

But who can tell what the future holds?

How many of them will be traded?
How many people whose contracts expire will not be renewed?

How many people will be in the Lakers training facility again next season.
